Night Shamalayan's best, it has what I would dare to say is one of the best suspense scenes in cinema. That's a big accomplishment. It's the scene where Joaquin Pheonix's character is watching tv in the closet. I won't ruin it for you, just watch it.

I'm a sci fi fan, and a Tom Cruise anti fan, so you can see why I'm torn about recommending this movie. On the 'nay' side there's:
1. Tom Cruise
2. Dakota Fanning
3. New Jersey (i got parasites from drinking the water)

1. Tom Cruise
2. Dakota Fanning
3. New Jersey (i got parasites from drinking the water)
On the 'yay' side there's:
1. Tom Cruise's son hates him in the movie. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
2. Aliens. cool.
3. New Jersey (it has its charm)
4. Special Effects of the apocalyptic kind
So you see, the 'yays' out number the 'nays'. Watch on.

Ford plays a married man who charismatically lectures on the hypocrisy and corruption of America to anyone who will listen. Especially his family. So He decides to take his family back to nature and live off the land in the rural rainforest of South America. Trouble arises when he buts heads with missionaries and bandits.
The movie is kind of told through the eyes of the son played by Pheonix as he sees his father become unglued and his family threatened.
